Artist: Beyonce ft. Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and Solange Knowles
Video: “Get Me Bodied”
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Beyonce and Anthony Mandler
“Get Me Bodied” has to be the most overblown, over-hyped, over-saturated, and simply over-the-top music videos that Beyonce has ever done. It’s literally so over the top that it is ridiculous …

Halloween On The Barbary Coast is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Hit To Death in the Future Head. Opening up with a collection of somewhat random sounds, a moderate guitar lead soon drives the track until some interesting percussive work also starts to …

Sean Paul is a famous reggae dancehall musical artist that hails from the island of Jamaica. He has had many hits in the past but I am here to give a review of latest hit.
The name of this track is “Pepperpot” and upon listening to the lyrics of …

Don’t Tread On Me, another one of the more aggressive songs from The Black Album, isn’t exactly a song which I enjoy too much, and ironically, James Hetfield supports this. Don’t Tread On Me isn’t a terrible song, but it does sound slightly forced in my opinion and it …

“Blue Streak” Motion Picture Soundtrack
Roc-A-Fella Records
“Girl’s Best Friend” is a single and music video off of the motion picture soundtrack for the Martin Lawrence-led crime/action/comedy film “Blue Streak” (1999). Is it me or does Jay-Z always get picked to record for some of the dumbest, stupid, and …

I start my day everyday by listening to an encouraging Christian music compact disc. I prefer to listen to the CD 14 Hits Of Christian Praise by Marilyn McCoy and with various artists collaboration.
I started listening to Christian music, when one day I was feeling a little down and …

D.J.s is a song by Sublime and is the twelfth song on their debut release, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with the vocals right from the beginning, Nowell takes the lead with a multi-layered vocal delivery which creates a nice harmony and opens the sound in a pretty …

The band famous for their innovative use of instruments has developed this piece mainly for Piano, Toy Piano, Vocal Samples and, interestingly, miked up ballet shoes. The three tracks develop when played form start to finish, making …

I don’t really like Jay Z as a rapper. I never liked his flow style or voice. But I do have to say I do like his diss songs and his hardcore lyrics. I don’t really like his commercial songs though. As a business man I have to respect him. …

Whiplash Smile is Billy Idol’s third solo album, and (at least until 2005’s highly disappointing Devil’s Playground) the final Idol album to feature both guitarist Steve Stevens and producer Keith Forsey. While not quite up to the level set by the preceding Rebel Yell (what is, really?), it’s still …

If you’re a beginner guitarist trying to switch from acoustic to electric, I’m sure you’re searched and asked for many guitars that will suit you.

Dio’s Holy Diver is among the most important metal albums of all time.Ronnie’s vocals soar with amazing beauty and depth.He is a great front man for any band.Even though I like his work with Black Sabbath much more than solo it still does nothing to change the fact that …

Most know Zack de la Rocha as the vocalist of the well known political rap-metal band Rage Against The Machine. Only some know him as the former front-man of Inside Out, a lesser known hardcore punk band, as well. During their somewhat-short time as a band, Inside Out released …

Who can forget Barry White? I’m sure his songs have touched everyone at some time or other. I know he has touched me. I grew up with Barry White. Barry’s music is so soulful, and truly says something.
Barry’s music just put’s you in the mood for love. His husky, …

Overview —“ Stuck With Me, the second music video released for Green Day’s album Insomniac is definitely an interesting concept for a video and I personally love the music video of this song, but I’ll explain the video itself later. The song seems to deal with feeling out of …

Faaip De Oiad is a song by Tool which appears on their record Lateralus. The song starts out with some synthesizers and background noise which sets up a very eerie atmosphere which surrounds this entire album. Thus far the sound is very unsettling and once the chaotic drum pattern …

Your Love Never Fails started with the lead guitarist Chris Quilala as he is the also lead vocalist of this beautiful song. “Nothing can separate, even if I ran away, your love never fails”. It was so smooth and mellow when he sang it.
The song talks about how great …

Sabaton is a heavy metal band that mainly sings in the same type of style and speed as other bands like Iron Maiden, or Metallica. I don’t know why they aren’t heard of any more than they are.
Sabaton can …

For some reason, I feel like I shouldn’t like the band Cracker—¦ but I do anyway. I suppose it’s what the band calls “Cracker Soul” that moves me. It’s that intangible there is in music that is added by pure feeling. Cracker songs are simple; easy chord progressions repeated …

Thanks To You is a song by The Flaming Lips and the eighth song on their second effort, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a clean guitar part, I’m slightly reminded of a tone Led Zeppelin would come up with on one of their earlier records until the vocals …

Science is a song which is by System Of A Down and appears on their second record, Toxicity. The track opens up with sort of a galloping guitar riff which plays on natural harmonics and leads into the heavy main rhythm of the track which has an excellent groove …

Three Wooden Crosses is a country music song sung and made famous by Randy Travis. It is a song about four people from different backgrounds that take a bus ride in which three of them die. The fourth one was a hooker and does not quite understand why she …

The Handshake is the penultimate song on MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. The start of this track is interesting in that it features a prominent and distinct piano opening which is a nice break from all of the synthesizers. The Handshake is similar to Pieces Of What in that …

“Undying Love” is a lyrical masterpiece from the rapper Nas. This song appears on his album “I Am” which in itself garnered mixed reviews. I’ll tell you this though, never will you hear such a well thought out and well told story in today’s rap/hip hop scene. Fittingly this …

Shania Twain is one of those musicians that I grew up listening too. While admittedly she is not my favorite female artist she is one whose music I have come to enjoy and appreciate over the years. ” The Woman In Me” was released in early 1995 and my …

Sex Packets is a classic rap album. It is probably the album that made Digital Underground famous. With songs like the Humpty Dance, and Freaks of the Industry. These songs were both cool and funny at the same time. Sex Packets brings a new style and image to rap music. …

Overview - A Saucerful Of Secrets, Pink Floyd’s second effort, basically abandons the extremely psychedelic, experimental, and chaotic tone that made their debut record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, what it was. Although the band still does have some experimental parts, and creative at that, the mood …

Miley Cyrus is a Disney channel teen star and has broken into the music industry as well. I first heard her song “See You Again” on a local radio station here and immediately recognized it was her from the Hannah Montana series!
I actually really like her song and her …

“Speechless” by Lady Gaga is probably one of my favorite songs by her for the simple fact it justifies her fame more than anything else she’s recorded. Don’t get me wrong. I love pretty much all her songs but I think Speechless shows off how good her voice …

I’ve been playing drums for more than one year now. Over that time, I’ve tried several brands and styles of sticks. I’ve discovered that, when a company slaps “Good Wood” on its sticks, I should run the other way and save myself thirteen bucks. This company, which is based …

Christmas Cheers CD of Connie Francis is already out of production. I’ve been looking for it in the market because my previous file has been lost but could not find any new releases. Nevertheless I am thankful I found MP3 download of this very same CD …

Rihanna has come into the musical industry with quite a bang. And although she hasn’t been that instantly famous as some superstars had been, right fro the start, she has been really working hard to get to the top. From her first album, she was known to a few …

The Rosie O’Donnell: A Rosie Christmas CD is really a pleasant surprise with all kinds of holiday songs sung by a crazy group of people. Some of these duets with Rosie you would think would be a disaster and yet they work surprisingly well.
Two quick notes. The …

This song was released around 1984. There are so many versions of this song nowadays and I think all are equally good. The Irish boy band A1 has their own version of this song but this is originally sang by A-Ha. Each version is a bit different but equally …

If you guys have watched National Treasure before, then I’m sure more or less you have been listening to the National Treasure Soundtrack. This is awesome and just in case you have not yet heard the sounds/songs in it, you should. What are you waiting for? I …

She’s like the wind by Lumidee featuring Tony Sunshine is a song I like even better than the original which is done by Patrick Swazy. This song is a beautiful redo and I love listening to it over and over again. The words and the melody are like running …

The Face of Love CD by Sanctus Real was given to me by a friend. I hadn’t heard of them before, so I was a little unsure as to whether or not I would like this cd. As first listen, I was mildly impressed, but as I listened to …

You probably know Joe Budden from his hit singles “Pump It Up” and “Calm Down” which are included in his debut self titled cd released by Def Jam Records in 2003. Since then he has released almost no new material until he released his Mood Musik 2 mixtape …

Dance In The Dark is a song by Lady Gaga which appears on her album The Fame Monster. The track opens up with a fairly annoying introduction which unfortunately seems to remind me of the music of the 1980s. Gaga’s vocals come in soon enough with more of a …

This is a great first album from this new pop punk band. More on the pop side than punk but still there. The lead singer embodies that sort of upper middle class dissolute rakish character and it works well. They’re certainly not the most intellectual band …

Probably one of the craziest glam bands out there in the eighties that wasn’t very popular back in the day was the glam metal band nitro. They had everything from the highest pitch sreaming from screamer Jim Gillette and the blazing guitar work of Michael Angel Batio. One of …

‘These Word’ is the first song that I listen from Natasha Beddingfield, I think its also the first single from her too. First time I listen to this song, I smile and I said ‘hey this is a funny song’. Yea I said that because I think no song …
